Yeah, you're right I remembered this in a wrong way.
I forgot about this definition: "If isFullScreenSupported false ->
full-screen exclusive mode simulated by resizing window to screensize
and positioning window at (0,0)." Somehow I thought one has to do the
second part manually.

Btw: Have you thought about this part of the spec:  "When entering FSEM,
if full-screen window is not visible, this method will make it visible.
Window remains visible when returning to windowed mode."
